George Washington (1732-1799) was the son of Augustine Washinton Sr. (1694-1743)and Augustine's second wife, Mary Ball Washington (1708-1789). George had two older half-brothers, Lawrence (1718-1752) and Augustine Washington, Jr. (1720-1762). He had five younger siblings by his mother, Mary Ball Washington, two sisters and three brothers : * Betty (later Betty Washington Lewis)- (1733-1797) * Samuel - (1734-1781) * John Augustine - (1736-1787) * Charles - (1738-1799) * Mildred (died in infancy) - (1739-1740) As shown, none of his brothers and sisters outlived him, his brother Charles dying three months before George's death. Washington had seven nieces and nephews by his brother Samuel, who was married five times. His brother John's son, Bushrod Washington (1762-1829), inherited Mount Vernon and became a Supreme Court Justice. George married Martha Dandridge Custis (1731-1802) on January 6, 1759. She had two living children, John Custis (Jacky) and Martha Custis (Patsy). Patsy died in 1774. After the death of John (Jacky) at the end of the Revolutionary War, George and Martha informally adopted Martha's grandchildren Eleanor (Nelly 1779-1852)) and George Washington Parke Custis (1781-1857). Martha Washington's great-granddaughter, Mary Anna, married Robert E. Lee. Both Robert E. Lee and Martha's great-great-grandson, George Washington Custis Lee (1832-1913) were generals in the Confederate army. George Washington's step-daughter-in-law Eleanor had nine other children, seven with her second husband, Dr. David Stuart.
